indicator lines up with the desired voltage. The

250 volt setting can be used in any country

that operates at a voltage greater than 125.

In a 220/240 volt country, the dryer will oper-

ate only on the LOW setting. Do not force the

unit to the HIGH setting—the HIGH setting will

not work at 250 volts. Even though the dryer

is set to LOW, the higher voltage coming into

the unit results in the unit operating at a HIGH

heat/airflow. The LOW setting on 250 volts will

provide full heat and airflow to dry your hair.

A plug adapter is necessary when traveling to

countries where the 220/240 volt setting is

required. 220/240-volt plugs are configured

differently from country to country, however,

so make sure to buy the appropriate adapter

for the area you’re visiting (square, round,

two- or three-pronged). Adapters are sold at

local appliance and hardware stores at a

modest cost.

How to Use

Basic Drying Techniques

1. Gently towel dry hair to remove excess

water. Avoid rubbing hair with towel –

this creates split ends and frizziness.

Detangle hair with a wide-toothed comb.

2. Be sure dryer is turned off. Plug dryer

into an electrical outlet.

3. Turn the dryer on and set it to a high

heat and speed. Remove some of the

additional moisture from your hair by

briskly blow drying it all over, using your

fingers to "comb" through hair.

4. When hair is almost dry, lower the heat

and speed to the desired settings and

begin to style.

5. Divide hair into manageable sections.

Begin at the nape of your neck and

brush hair, following the movement of

the brush with the dryer. Continue

working your way up to your scalp, then

to the sides and the front, drying small

sections at a time.

6. Once your desired style is achieved,

push the Cool Shot button to set the style

with a cool flow of air.

For straight, smooth hair:

With the dryer turned off, attach the

concentrator to the end of the nozzle. Turn

the driver on and brush hair from under-

neath using a large, round brush or paddle

brush. Pull hair down until the hair is fully

extended and taut. Run the dryer slowly

down the length of the hair several times

until dry. Repeat

with all sections of hair

until it is completely dried. Lock in the style

with the Cool Shot.

For curly hair:

Use dryer on a low heat and speed setting

and move it quickly about your head. As

you dry your hair, scrunch it with your

favorite styling product or twirl strands of

hair around your fingers to add definition.

When finished drying, lock in the style with

the Cool Shot.

Hair Care Tips

■ Keep the dryer about 8 inches away

from your head to avoid burning scalp or

damaging hair.

■ Always keep the dryer pointed down the

hair shaft to smooth the cuticle and

create a silky, shiny style.

■ To help prevent heat damage and add

shine, spritz damp hair with a heat

protection spray before blow drying.

■ To create a style with lots of body, apply

volumizing mousse to towel-dried hair.

Distribute it evenly from roots to ends,

then blow dry as usual. Hair will be soft,

shiny, and full of volume.

■ For a super smooth, salon-like blow dry,

finish by running a straightening iron

over dried hair.

■ For a quick touch-up between sham-

poos, mist hair to dampen it, then style

with dryer.

Cleaning and Maintenance

International Operation

Maintenance Instructions

The dryer needs minimum maintenance to

ensure the best performance and long life.

■ Do not attempt to repair the appliance

yourself.

■ Keep all intake openings clear of dust

accumulation. See “Cleaning Instructions.”

No other maintenance or lubrication is

required.

■ If the cord becomes twisted due to use,

periodically straighten it. Store appliance

and cord where they will not be dam-

aged. Do not wrap cord around dryer.

Cleaning Instructions

The air filter should be cleaned regularly,

since a dirty or clogged filter will impair the

efficiency of the dryer.

1. To clean air filter, make sure dryer is

turned off and unplugged.

2. Use a soft bristle brush to gently remove

any particles that are lodged in filter.

3. If the unit is dirty, wipe it with a dampcloth.

Storage

When not in use, unplug the unit. Allow it

to cool, and store out of reach of children in a

safe, dry location. Never wrap the cord

around the appliance, as this will cause

the cord to wear prematurely and break.

Handle the cord carefully, and avoid jerking,

twisting, or straining it, especially at plug

connections.

International Operation

The SuperSonic

hair dryer is perfect for

home or travel abroad. The dryer converts

easily to foreign voltages so it can accompany

you anywhere.

In North America

Your dryer is pre-set to run on North American

voltage (125 volts), so no voltage adjustment

is necessary before using it in Canada,

Mexico, or the United States.

Outside North America

Many foreign countries operate on 220/240

voltage. If you plan to travel to a country that

uses 220/240 volts, you will need to set the

dryer’s voltage selector to 250 volts before

you can use it there. With the

dryer turned off, insert a

coin or screwdriver into

the slot on the dryer’s

dual voltage selector.

Then turn it so that the
